The Native American Mint is a private commercial operation, not a federally recognized tribal mint or U.S. government facility. Its issues carry no legal tender status and circulate only as novelty items. The Chippewa — more properly the Ojibwe — are among the largest Indigenous nations in North America, with federally recognized tribes across Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Canada.
